Disclaimer: If you haven't read Summer Romance, then you haven't had the chance to be jealous of me getting two new pairs of shoes at the Mall of America this weekend. But, now that opportunity is here! And I highly recommend you now go back and read Summer Romance because it's just awesome like that. Wait, what did I mean at the beginning? Oh yeah, Hannah Montana still belongs to Disney. But I know you're all jealous on the inside!
"Toss me another one." Oliver instructed tonelessly to Lilly. They were still in Jake's basement watching reruns of his TV show and Lilly was currently playing basketball. The popcorn kernels were the ball and Oliver's mouth was the basket. "Three points, again." He said after swallowing the warm, buttery piece that she'd launched.
"Whoopee." She cheered, haphazardly waving her hand in the air.
"This sucks!" Miley exclaimed, getting up from the couch. She was immediately shushed by Jake, who was imitating the TV.
In response, the brunette threw a handful of popcorn at his back. Some of it got stuck in his hair, and he turned to glare. She just smiled with fake apology.
She had woken up after the movie, and the party was still going on next door. Jackson had got a call from Cooper saying they were invited to some party and he had left immediately.
"I know, let's play truth or dare!" Lilly suggested. The other shrugged and sat down in a circle. "I'll go first. Oliver, truth or dare?"
"Dare." He said almost automatically. There was a secret he was hiding that she did not need to find out.
"Ok. I dare you to go next door and walk into the party, grab some snacks, and come back here." She challenged.
"Psh, that's it. Lilly, you've lost your touch."
"I'm just getting warmed up."
The four of them walked into the backyard, there was a door in his basement that went under the deck, and Oliver walked in the back entrance. Lilly, Miley, and Jake watched, bemused, as Oliver grabbed the snack plate and started towards the door.
However, just as he was getting to the handle, his mother spotted him and dragged him by the ear back to the counter where the snacks belong. She started waving her finger at him, and Lilly picked up a manly sound. He made to go in the direction of the door, however, just after his mom turned her back, he grabbed a handful of cheese and ran out the door.
"Piece of cheese," he proclaimed nonchalantly, word playing the 'piece of cake' saying. The others rolled their eyes before going back into Jake's house.
A few rounds later, Miley asked, "Jake, truth or dare?"
"Truth," he stretched the word out, not entirely sure if that's what he wanted. As soon as the question was asked, he felt regret form in the pit of his stomach. However, on the outside, he remained calm, cool, and collected.
"Ok. Who do you have a crush on?" she asked with a self-satisfied look on her face.
"Uh, ya know-" he started, realizing he had no way out of this.
"No, I don't actually. But I will once you tell me."
"Wait, why do you care so much?" he shot back, hoping to buy sometime. He looked desperately at Oliver, who only smirked in response.
"I-I don't. It's just that, if you lie in this game we get to make you eat something," she reminded.
Just then, the upstairs door opened and Mack yelled, "Miley, your dad said you can go home."
"You lucked out," she whispered as she walked past him. As soon as she and Lilly were safely out the door and back inside Miley's house, he rounded on his supposed best friend.
"What was that?!" he screamed, arms flailing wildly around his head.
"Sorry. But there was nothing I could do," Oliver answered sheepishly. "Plus, I think you should just tell her."
The look he received instantly shut him up.
The following Friday was the welcome back dance, and for some odd reason, Miley found herself putting on a brand new red dress and heels. She did her hair so that the ends started to curl out. And only as she was grabbing her small red purse containing red lip gloss and her cell phone did she wonder why she was dressing up.
She was standing around by the door, impatiently tapping her foot. Finally, the doorbell rang. Miley walked over and let Lilly, forcing her arms to uncross.
"What took so long?!"
"Whadya mean? I'm early," the blonde informed. Miley's eyebrows crinkled together.
"Really? Are ya sure?"
"Yeah. Why, didn't take as long as you thought it would to impress Jake?" Miley glared at her best friend, arms crossed again. "And speaking of that, nice outfit!" she complimented.
"Thanks. I never thought I'd see you in a dress. Wanna look your best for Oliver?" It was Lilly's turn to glare. "But the blue brings out your eyes really well."
"Thank you." The two girls sat around talking for almost a half hour before the doorbell rang again. Lilly got up and answered it.
"Well, gee, look who decided to show up," she said in a falsely sweet voice.
"Sorry. Oliver came over and we had a snack, and then a belching contest and- Whoa." Jake started to explain. But his train of thought went off track when he noticed Miley. Red was definitely her color.
"What?" She asked, starting to get weirded out by his staring.
"Hey, Lilly, you're in a dress." Oliver noted, trying to break the now awkward silence.
"Wow. Never thought I'd live to see the day." Jake added, following along with Oliver's distraction.
"Really? I am?!" she asked, holding a hand to her heart and looking around the room in a shocked way.
"Well, we should get going." Miley said, ushering them out the back door and in the direction of Rico's.
Ok, so I couldn't think of much. But I went back and reread chapters 10-13, and remembered the dance. So, next chapter I now have somewhere to start. But, now I have to go. I have High school registration crap tonight. Joy:(
Luv Wendy:)(:
